"Did the front door get locked?" Not remembering where things are can be a symptom of a larger issue. Memory loss can lead to host of problems that can drastically affect an individual's health. "Dancing helps rewire the brain, according to Dr. Joseph Coyle, a Harvard Medical School physiatrist (http://dancecompreview.com/ballroom-dancing-makes-smarter/), the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of our brains are very elastic.

Dance Pizazz, the St. Louis area friendliest, funnest dance, wants to share the benefits of dance and how it directly contributes to a healthier brain. Here are some ways ballroom dance can help the mind:

1. Dancing opens new pathways in the brain. Memorizing new steps stimulate unconnected neural pathways, which exercises the mind making it smarter.

2. Dancing stimulates simultaneous brain functions like rational thinking, music and emotion.
